Vigorous Defense for Federal Investigations in the Eastern District of Texas
When you are the target of the U.S. government, you need a defense lawyer with the experience and tenacity to fight back in federal court.
A Different League of Justice
When the FBI, DEA, or IRS knocks on your door, you are no longer in the state system. You are facing the unlimited resources of the United States government. Federal cases are fundamentally different from state cases—the rules are different, the prosecutors are different, and the penalties are far more severe, often including lengthy mandatory minimum prison sentences. You cannot afford to face a federal charge with anything less than a highly experienced federal defense attorney who knows the procedures and players in the **Eastern District of Texas (EDTX)**.
Federal Crimes We Defend in East Texas
Our firm is equipped to handle the unique complexities of federal criminal defense. We represent clients in the federal courthouses in Tyler, Marshall, and Texarkana who are facing charges such as:
Drug Trafficking & Conspiracy
Large-scale drug cases involving allegations of conspiracy to distribute controlled substances, often carrying severe mandatory minimum sentences.
Federal Firearm Offenses
Including "felon in possession of a firearm," possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug crime, and other violations investigated by the ATF.
White-Collar Crimes
Complex financial cases such as wire fraud, mail fraud, bank fraud, money laundering, and tax evasion investigated by the FBI and IRS.
Child Pornography Offenses
Serious federal charges related to the possession or distribution of child pornography, which carry some of the harshest penalties in the federal system.
The Power of the Federal Sentencing Guidelines
Unlike state court, federal judges are guided by the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines. These complex rules calculate a recommended prison sentence based on the specifics of the offense and your criminal history. Many federal crimes also carry **mandatory minimum sentences**, meaning the judge has no choice but to impose a lengthy prison term upon conviction. The stakes in federal court are as high as they get.
Our Strategy: Pre-Indictment Intervention and Trial Readiness
The best time to fight a federal case is before it even begins. We take a proactive approach focused on protecting you at every stage of the process.
Pre-Indictment Representation
If you learn you are the target of a federal investigation, we can intervene immediately. By engaging with the Assistant U.S. Attorney (AUSA) before a grand jury indictment, we can sometimes present evidence or legal arguments that persuade them to file lesser charges or no charges at all.
Challenging the Federal Investigation
Federal agents are not infallible. We scrutinize the legality of wiretaps, search warrants, and interrogation methods. A violation of your constitutional rights can lead to the suppression of critical evidence.
Dissecting Complex Evidence
Federal cases often involve thousands of pages of documents, financial records, or digital data. We have the experience to sift through this evidence to find the flaws in the government's case.
Sentencing Mitigation
If a conviction is unavoidable, our work is not over. We prepare a comprehensive sentencing memorandum and argue aggressively for the lowest possible sentence under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, presenting a full picture of your life and character to the judge.
